Our Approach to Citizenship
Promoting service and civic engagement is a primary mission of the Sagamore Institute. Active community members and organizations are the key to lasting local and national change. When Governor Ralph Gates bestowed the first Sagamore of the Wabash Award in 1942, he was inspired to enlist our best minds and talents to make Indiana better. Likewise, Sagamore advances the betterment of Indiana and its citizens through a variety of initiatives aimed at building better citizens.
